Newcastle United faced off against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 14th minute when Nico O\u2019Reilly got his name on the scoresheet. However, Lewis Hall scored the leveller for Newcastle just eight minutes later. O\u2019Reilly gave Man City the lead again in the 27th minute as Eddie Howe\u2019s men went into the half-time break 2-1 down on the scoreline.<\/p>\n

The Tyneside club failed to mount a comeback in the second half and crashed to a tough 2-1 loss at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Newcastle United<\/a> player fared during the clash against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

GK: Nick Pope \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope made his fair share of saves during the game, but wouldn\u2019t be pleased after conceding twice in the first half.<\/p>\n

RB: Kieran Trippier \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was far from convincing defensively, but caught the eye at times in the final third.<\/p>\n

CB: Malick Thiaw \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thiaw performed his defensive duties well and was accurate with his passing.<\/p>\n

CB: Dan Burn \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He performed his defensive duties well and was a strong presence in the air.<\/p>\n
